Hmmm ... I'm now wondering about the "measurement error" theory.
I tried to repeat this measurement locally, focusing on the select-only
number since that should have a higher ratio of planning time to
execution.

Test setup:
cassert-off build
pgbench -i -s 100
sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor performance

repeat 3 times: pgbench -c 4 -j 4 -P 5 -T 60 -S

HEAD:
tps = 32508.217002 (excluding connections establishing)
tps = 33081.402766
tps = 32520.859913
average of 3: 32703 tps

WITH PATCH:
tps = 32815.922160 (excluding connections establishing)
tps = 33312.149718
tps = 32784.527489
average of 3: 32970 tps

(Hardware: dual quad-core Xeon E5-2609, running current RHEL6)

So I see no evidence for a slowdown on pgbench's SELECT queries.
Anybody else want to check performance on simple scan/join queries?
